Engine light came on. We get two codes, both showing P0420. Since this code came up twice, does this mean that the catalytic converter needs to be replaced? Or should I try replacing the downstream oxygen sensor first?

THE EZist THING TO TRY IS RUN A FULL BOTTLE OF "SEAFOAM" IN YOUR GAS TANK. THIS WILL HURT NUTHIN' (EVEN IF IT DOES NOT WORK) BUT MANY TIMES THIS WILL FIX MANY O2 ISSUES.

HAVE YOU A LINK BELOW OF THE PRODUCT, OTHER STORES HAVE IT TOO
